Prospect Info: 2024 NHL Entry Draft Discussion

[Jakey53]

Well I’ve got one 2nd and on 3rd on my list. Haha.

Thank god we are picking later.

 

[Jagged Ice]

There is no way I take a Russian this draft, unless they would be available to play in NA next year.

Well, Levshunov is already playing at Michigan State. Not Russian but Belarus is close.. 28 points in 30 games for the 6'3" freshman dman. He might be my pick if he's still available at five but I'm thinking he goes top 3, most likely to Anaheim. I'm only starting to dive into the prospects now. We do need Eiserman's goals but we really don't need another winger. If I had to place a wager on who BA takes at five, I think we land Dickinson or Silayev.
Winning was fun the first half of the season, and I know it's not popular around here, but I really want one more top five pick.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

but I really want one more top five pick.

we really need a top 5 pick that ends up being a top 5 pick or better

 

[Coyotes19c]

I’m always in the BPA train but don’t we really really need a top RD?

Also do y’all think any of these players could play for us next season?

 

[Jagged Ice]

Yes, I'm thankful we have the right scouts to sort this all out. Chicago being in our division and getting Demidov on Bedard's right side is already giving me nightmares.

I've got Levshunov 3rd and Silayev is outside the top 5 for me.

His skating isn't as good as Simashev's, and what I see is a better Tyler Myers...but again, I'll trust the scouts if it is our pick.

Simashev's skating is 'great' for any height...Silayev is a good skater for his height

I think Silayev’s skating is elite for his size. His best quality and the main reason why everyone is so intrigued.

RE: the Russian Factor:

BA and team have made comments about how they like some Russian programs and not others. We know they’ve said this about Yaroslavl Lokomotiv and Torpedo Nizhny Novogorod.

We had contract trouble with Duda and CSKA Moskva. Then later when Fedotov and his brother ended up with SKA St. Petersburg we had contract issues again.

We seem very happy with Simashev and But with Lokomotiv and expect them to sign with us after next season. We seemed happy when Fedotov was with Torpedo. Silayev plays there now. Coached by a very progressive Igor Larionov who really supports young players. Silayev has just one or two more seasons on his contract.

Demidov is with SKA StP and is probably a bigger risk when it comes to contract extensions. SKA StP are also the rights holders of Michkov’s contract but continue to loan him to Sochi so he can get minutes and a sun tan. Demidov they just won’t call up even though he’s demolishing the MHL at historic levels.

In short, I think the Yotes would be eager to take a risk on Silayev but need much more reassurance from Demidov.

 

[Magonus1703]

If Demidov and Silayev are both available at where Coyotes pick, which one would you choose?

Tough call. I think I’d go Demidov for potential star power. But man it’s risky.

 

[rt]

We need defense. But we need a star player even more.

We need a star player from NA that we know will play for the Coyote's next year. I think we know who that will be when we win the lottery.

I think having 3-4 Russians in the pipeline already would probably help their chances quite a bit

 

[Mangosteen]

We will win the lottery than lose the pick as punishment for arena finance tampering.

They'll also remove Ottawa's first for not stopping us. Then give the black hawks Celebrini because the NHL doesn't care about rapists.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

BA would not choose Demidov. If we got the 2nd pick, it would be silayev or Lindstrom. You must be *this*tall to be selected by BA

How tall is Logan Cooley?

 

[Mangosteen]

[Schemp]

Does anyone know how many Russians are on each team?

There are 99 active contracts with Russians. 100 if you want to add Ruzicka!

 

[Jakey53]

So about three a team. Ok, no more Russians for us.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

Cooley compensates his lack of verticality with his long monkey arms

And Demidov ain’t short.

I was told Ruzicka is Slovakian.
